Vim 7.1 and aap?
Hi, Currently using AAP is still downloading and installing verison 7.0 (and all the patches). Will this be updated to load 7.1 instead? I have altered my local copy of main.aap to get 7.1 (and change the latest patch number to 000) which seems to work fine.

FYI, Vim 6.2 went to 532 patches, see http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/ Release early, release often :) Yes, I admit that you are right. But unfortunately Vim is not developing in Bazaar's way, at least not that way currently. Vim has a very very large TODO list here: ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/doc/todo.txt I sometimes guess it would be nice to import the todo list into some tracking system such as trac, and then a lot of *submitters* could participate into the development concurrently. But sadly, most of us are not able to understand Vim's source code as clearly as Bram. I also submitted some dirty patches and Bram had to correct many mistakes for me. So there can't be more *submitters* until some of us could spend as much time as Bram. - What devel tree? I'll believe that a 7.1 is on the rails when I see at least an alpha. Before that, AFA-anyone-CT, there's no devel tree. Let's not presume about what we know nothing about. Hence presume.

The latest full official release with binaries was 7.0.000. To avail yourself (as I do) of any of these 233 patchlevels to date (for instance, on Linux), you have to, either: - download the current source from CVS or SVN, or - download the 7.0.000 source plus all 233 patches (there are mega- or rather hecto-patches for 001-100 and 101-200), and apply the patches in ascending order - in either case: make sure you also have the latest runtimes, most of whose updates are not reflected in the patches - ...and compile your own Vim. Happily, with the make utility and the Makefiles included in the source distribution, compiling one's own is not really a big deal.

The svn tree has all patches already inside, it does not matter how many patches are there. You just checkout and build. It's not that you need to download baseline and then 222 patches, no.
